The Dates of the Birth and Death of Jesus Christ

Was Christ in fact crucified under Pontius Pilate in 33 A.D. as Christian tradition tells us?

Is there any way of knowing for sure?

Most scholars answer, 'no'. They claim that our calendar is wrong and that Christ was born at the latest in 4 B.C. They rely on the first century Jewish historian’s date for the death of Herod to reject the traditional date assigned by Dionysius the Little which the civilised world has followed ever since.
